Programmatically test for a DVD drive

2003-12-16 Thread Joe Marcus Clarke
I'm trying to figure out the best way to programmatically test to see if a disc device is a DVD device. That is, how can I tell the difference between a CD-[ROM|R|RW] and a DVD-[ROM|R|RW]? Is there a set method for doing this, or should I just try to execute a DVD ioctl, and test to see if it suc

FreeBSD VFS System?

2003-12-16 Thread Ryan Sommers
Are there any good web resources or books on the VFS system that the FreeBSD kernel uses? I'm guessing it might have originated from the 4.4BSD(?) interface. I've been attempting to read through the source code for different system calls (ie mkdir, rmdir, mount/umount) and haven't been able to get
